5 YouTube Channels For A Fun At-Home Workout

Like most others, I believe that exercise is important. I’m not the kind of girl who can follow a stringent diet. Salads and cereal are not my idea of a meal. I’m the kind who can NEVER compromise on food. I eat my fill, but I do believe in working it out.

Since my mother is strongly against the entire idea of anybody going to the gym, I have to make do with other forms of exercise. Be it a quick walk in the evenings (no, I’m not a morning person) or a fun solo dance session when no one’s around, I try to cram in some exercise whenever I find the time.

Yeah, I can’t go to the gym and earn myself a body of steel. But there is one thing I can do and so can you — if you don’t have the time to go to the gym everyday, try to squeeze in some exercise at home.

How? One word — YouTube! Everything that you need is available right here. What’s more, with the festive season upon us, you’re going to be consuming tons of sweets. It’s all you can do to balance it out with a good, solid workout. So, we’ve curated a list of 5 YouTubers you can follow for a fun at-home workout. So the next time you complain about that bit of extra weight or wanting to stay fit, go on to YouTube. These fitness instructors will feel like your very own personal trainers. What’s more?
